Key term
Which two measures show the health gap between rich and poor countries most clearly?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is meant by disparities in wealth between countries?
Model answer
The very wide gaps in average income and standard of living that separate the richest countries from the poorest.
- 2
Why is wealth often spread unevenly inside a single country?
Model answer
Industry, services and investment concentrate in the capital and the larger cities, so rural and remote regions are left behind.
- 3
Which two measures show the health gap between rich and poor countries most clearly?
Model answer
Life expectancy, which is far shorter in the poorest countries, and infant mortality, which is far higher.
- 4
Why is health worse in the least developed countries?
Model answer
There are fewer doctors, hospitals and medicines, and many people have no clean water, no sanitation and too little food.
- 5
How does poor health hold back a country's development?
Model answer
People who are ill cannot work or attend school, so the workforce stays small and unskilled and the country earns less.
- 6
What is international migration?
Model answer
The movement of people from one country to another in order to live there, usually for a year or more.
